Where are polar bodies made?

Polar bodies are formed during oogenesis, the process of egg (oocyte) development in females. They are produced in the ovaries when an oocyte undergoes meiOSis. Specifically, polar bodies are created during the division of the oocyte, where the cytoplasm is predominantly retained in one cell (the oocyte) while the smaller polar bodies are extruded, typically resulting in two or three polar bodies that are non-functional and eventually degenerate.
